The Hobart Hurricanes have secured the future of in-demand T20 allrounder Tim David after he put pen-to-paper on a new two-year contract extension.
Australia are priced at 10/3 to win the T20 World Cup this year but David has been representing the country of his birth, Singapore, on the world stage.
Huge IPL deal
The 25-year-old is the man of the moment after Indian Premier League side the Mumbai Indians snapped him for $1.53million in the recent IPL auction.
That is more than was paid out for Aussie marquee players Pat Cummins and David Warner and it comes as no real surprise following some blistering performances in T20 cricket.
